About Susan
Susan McGrattan is a counsellor with eight years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds an NCPS credential and focuses on creating tailored, practical support for people facing everyday struggles. She speaks English and works with people on a wide range of issues including anxiety, grief, depression and codependency.
Susan aims to keep sessions simple and direct. She helps people talk through what feels most urgent and then builds coping steps together. Common themes she supports include relationship strain, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, addictions and sleep or eating difficulties.
Her approach blends several therapies so the work fits each person. She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-based ideas and emotionally focused practices. The emphasis is on what clients want to change and practical ways to get there.
Susan also supports people dealing with career stress, parenting pressures, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. She pays attention to how past losses or abandonment experiences affect present relationships and daily coping.
She welcomes people who want straightforward help with mood, communication problems, boundaries and managing life transitions. To begin, people are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling sessions according to availability.
How Susan's approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and situations where people feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy-related issues and codependency.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss what each method involves and work collaboratively to choose what fits your needs and preferences. Plans can change as you learn what helps most in sessions.
Session formats were not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday or offering a quieter space when that helps concentration. Many people find online sessions let them maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change, and the same practical techniques used in person translate well to remote sessions.
